People in the area found fish floating and alerted the civic body officials. Workers removed the fish and samples were taken for analysis by the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board officials. Though the reason for the death of fish is yet to be ascertained, officials said it could either be due to depletion in the oxygen level in the water or due to pollution.
The lake, spread across 40 acre, was reduced to 14.40 acre due to encroachments.
